Andrew Armstrong is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. He works in a straightforward way and aims to create a steady space for people to talk through what feels hard.

He is accredited with the BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has four years of professional experience. People come to him for problems such as grief, low self-esteem, anger and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

He also supports those coping with major life changes, family concerns and parenting stress. He pays attention to relationship patterns and attachment issues that keep repeating. His sessions draw on approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused work.

These methods are used to build clearer thinking, greater emotional awareness and more workable daily habits. The counsellor adapts the way he works to each person, matching methods to what feels most helpful. Andrew sees therapy as a collaborative process.

He invites people to set goals and test small changes between sessions. Progress is checked by looking at what shifts in everyday life rather than only talking about feelings. He offers a calm, direct style aimed at people who want practical tools alongside understanding.

Sessions can include short exercises, reflective conversation and planning for manageable steps forward. The focus is on real problems and real ways to make them easier to live with.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Andrew often uses acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and supports taking small steps toward a valued life. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change repeating patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working and choose methods together with the client based on goals, needs and personal preference. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options add flexibility for people juggling work, parenting and day-to-day demands.
